This *Brilliant* Blooper Reel Is The Perfect Way To Remember The Rio Olympics

Done for another four years, consider the Rio Olympics finally closed for business. It was a wild old time and went off, pretty much, without a hitch. England succeeded better than we thought we would and Russia got their sporting comeuppance. All in all, we can agree it was a great Olympics.

As with the end of every major sporting event, let’s relish this period where people still want to talk about the games. This will last until about mid-September at which point most of the world will forget that the $11.6 billion event even happened in the first place!

This blooper video is a great compilation of every funny, weird and downright heart-melting event that was captured by news broadcasters across the games, enjoy!

At the end of the day, these are the moments that’ll put Rio down as a successful olympics. While the achievements of the athletes shouldn’t be spoken about in anything but awe, watching a Chinese swimmer lose her mind over getting a bronze she didn’t realise she’d won will be remembered as a highlight of the games. We’ll see the rest of you in Tokyo.
